Choose the Character or Campaign game, prepare the multi-part Middle-earth map, cards, and counters, resolve the Ring phase, movement, searches, events, magic, and combat in sequence, and win by destroying or recovering the Ring—or by taking the required strongholds.

Choose a historical dynasty, plan two action cards each round, develop and tax your dominion, arrange marriages and heirs, negotiate with rivals, use intrigue and warfare to expand, manage character traits and succession, advance on the Crusade track, and score territories, castles, development, piety, and achievements when Jerusalem is reached or three eras end.
